Transmission Line Design

MHI carried out design reviews and provided engineering services for completion of transmission line design. Specific project components included:

• Reviewing transmission line design data such as ice and wind loads, structure configuration, conductor selection, and insulation
• Providing recommendations on structure type and configuration, insulation level, choice of conductor hardware assemblies
• Reviewing transmission line tower spotting and provided comments regarding structure locations
• Conducting studies of electrical effects including audible noise, radio interference, zone, electric and magnetic fields
• Providing background information, calculated values, charts, and graphs 
• Conducting studies of conductor tensions
• Providing recommendations to control vibrations and galloping
